SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent-No. 729,861, dated June 2, 1903. Application filed October 22, 1902. Serial Ila-123,229. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRIS I-IERNFELn, a citizen of the United States, residing-in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a'newand useful Improvement in Cooking-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in a stove or heater; and it consists in forming a Fig. 2 represents a vertical sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 represents a plan view thereof with one covering or lid in position. Fig. 4 represents a side elevation of a portion of the stove or heater, showing a diiferent form of heating device.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a cooking-stove or heater which is formed of the body portion or casing B, which is preferably tubular, having aninner wall orpipe C, which is open at its top and at its lower end and is provided with the grating D.

E designates partitions, which may be of anynumber, within the casing B and which subdivide the same into compartments distinct from each other, said partitions extending from the outercasing B to the inner pipe 0, it being understood that each of the compartments is suitably provided with a bottom F. Suitably supported on the bottom F is the fire-chamber G, which has fianges l-I thereon which move in the guides J, said re-.

ceptacle being provided with a handle K, whereby the same can be moved in or out in order to receive the fuel.

L designates lids or closures on each of the compartments, the same being provided with handles M for the proper manipulation of the same and having the depending flanges A. Ndesignates spigots provided with the usual "valves and which communicate withthe lower interior portion of each of the compartments.

Suitable handles Pare provided for carrying the stove from place to place, and Q designates feet or supports for the above, it of course being understood that the same may be of any desired length or shape. The pipe 0 extends somewhat above the top of the compartment-s in order to form a seat or support for the auxiliary pipe R, which may be placed thereon when it is desired to secure a greater fire by increasing the draft, said pipe R being provided with a handle S for the manipulation of the same.

T designates a receptacle provided with arms or books U, which may be of any desired length, and whichis adapted to be placed within any of the compartments, and the hooks or arms resting upon the upper edge V of the casing B for supporting the receptacle, it being seen that the said edge V is enlarged in size for strength.

In Fig. 4 in lieu of the fire-chamber G shown in the other figures I have shown gasburners W, which are connected with a suitable source of gas'supply, and aburner is situated under each compartment for the heating of the same.

B" designates a lug or projection of the pipe 0 for supporting the inner edge of the lids L.

The operation will be readily understood. The fire-chamber G is filled with suitable material, such as charcoal, and lighted. The

articles to'be cooked are placed in their various receptacles-for example, coifee in one receptacle and meat and vegetables in other of the compartments, water or fluid being supplied to the compartments. readily seen that heat will be directed against a very considerable portion of each of the compartments, so that the cookingis quickly and cheaply accomplished, as will be'evident. The receptacle T is utilized-when it is not desired to place the articles to be cooked in the lower part of the compartments or when it is desired to cook two articles in one compartment. The spigots may be used to draw up the coffee or tea or other articles, and they are employed in removing the Water or other fluid. When the device is used as a heater,

It will be it will be readily seen that the same causes an intense heat for a small amount of fuel.

The pipe R can be placed in position or not, as desired, depending upon the character of fire desired.

It will be evident that various changes may be made by those skilled in the art which Will come within the scope of my invention, and I do not, therefore, desire to be limited in every instance to the exact construction herein shown and described.

Having thus described .my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a cooking or heating stove, a plurality of compartments, a pipe, the Walls of which form directly the rear Wall of each of said compartments, a shallow receptacle provided with means for supporting it upon the upper edge of either compartment and a tire-chamber situated beneath said pipe and extending partly beneath each of said compartments.

2. In a cooking or heating stove, aplurality of compartments, a pipe, the walls of which form directly the inner wall of each of said compartments, a fire-chamber suitably situ- 5 ated beneath each of said compartments and said pipe, and means on the bottom of said compartments for supporting said chamber whereby the same can be moved in or out.

3. In acooking or heating stove, a plurality of compartment-s, closures for each of said compartments, a fire-chamber situated beneath said com partments,a centrally-disposed pipe, forming directly the inner wall of all of said compartments, an auxiliary support adapted to be inserted in any of said compartments to be supported on the Walls thereof and a lid removably supported upon the top of said compartment and by means on said p p 4. In a cooking orheating stove, a plurality of compartments, a fire-chamber situated heneath said compartments, a pipe, the Walls of which form directly the rear wall of each of said compartments, said pipe projecting above said compartments forming the seat for holding an auxiliary pipe thereon and means on said pipe for. supporting a lid.

5. In a cooking or heating stove, a casing having a bottom with perforations, a pipe disposed centrally within said casing wit-l1 its lower end over said perforations, a heating device disposed beneath the bottom of the casing, removable receptacles having supporting means engaging the upper edge of the casing, lids for said receptacles, and supporting means on said pipe for said lids.

6. A heating or cooking stove comprising a casing, a centrally-disposed pipe therein, partitions extending from the outer casing to said pipe, a heating device disposed beneath said casing, a plurality of receptacles removably supported within the casing about the central pipe and means projecting from said pipe in line with the upper end of the casing for supporting the lids to the receptacles.
